Have you had problems with heat? Mine starting acting weird when in the sun on the edge of a pool (~85 degrees, 7500 foot altitude).

no my volume started getting lower and lower after about 1 month of usage and I just got rid of it.

I haven't. But I also don't have it sitting by the pool. All I can say is find some shade for it maybe.

I have only used mine indoors for the shower actually so I haven't had the change to try in direct sun. That said I do use a steam unit in my shower and the temp. gets pretty hot in there and I have never had any problems yet.

So far, no issues with heat - no issues with anything else either (knock on wood). I use it primarily at ~500-1000ft altitude and up to 95 deg F in direct sunlight. I have bought 3 so far. One for myself about a year ago and 2 for my sisters for Christmas; all have been excellent. My iPhone (4s) is another story... it shuts off all the time because it is too hot or too cold...

I never had any problems with heat, but I don't use it outside that much. I notice that sometimes it is not as loud when it has the sealing cap in the back.

I have honestly had nothing but problems with mine. I live in Key West, so the temp is always fairly hot. Not sure if that is a factor. The volume is very spotty and the vibrations with the protective grate on top have been a problem, and it typically only works within about 5 feet of my phone. At any rate, I am not terrible happy with the performance at all.

I have not had any problems so far. We have had it on the boat several times already and so far so good.

I had mine for longer than only a few months but it did start losing heat. I think it may be because of element getting clogged due to hair product but I would check with manufacturer to get clear answer and possible solution.

Turn up the heat... It sounds like its not hot enough... I run mine as hot as I can get it.

No, that isn't normal. I have used mine all summer and it never did that. I would contact the seller for a replacement.

Woah, that is a bummer. I live in Northern California where the temperatures may be more moderate than yours but this has not happened on any of the 5 I bought. However one has stopped working (I think due to heavy wind and rain).

I agree that the heat feature is either set too low or is not really working. Since we wouldn't use it very much, it isn't an issue for me. My wife hasn't complained either so-----

don't leave it in a hot area, store/keep it in a cool place. Check the cord. You may have a short and need replacement. That's what happened to me.
1353462
Yes! Return it. I had one that leaked and they're not supposed to leak. I had no problem returning it and actually got a replacement the next day. Also, I have 3 of these fountains. Living in Phoenix, I like the water around 80 degrees. I left them on by accident during the night and it dropped the temp to 72 which was too cold to swim in, for me. It doesn't take long for them to cool the water down.

I have three of them and so far have not had this problem. We have had some upper 90's in the summer but they are not in the afternoon sun. Hope this helps!

I didn't use one. My water didn't really cool down too much overnight. I like my pool temp between 78-82 degrees and as long as the days were sunny I didn't have a problem.

Sorry I haven't had this issue. Perhaps another issue with nutrients or water temperature. What are you growing?

I always sorta straightin out the cord a bit before use and also have my power unit where it won't get dragged around.. I keep mine in a shaded spot on a table and make sure the sun is not shining on the power unit. It seems to get a bit hot when not in the shade.

I never had occasion to check the unit for temperature, and having moved, no longer can do so. I am surprised at a report of heat, especially high heat. I suggest contacting Paradise directly as to a possible defect of this unit.

I had that happen with mine, also. I tracked it down to the plastic shaft that the float rides on was not seated into the place for it on the bottom of the part with the fan. Also, if it doesn't run very often, try turning the humidity setting up and see what happens. They have some trouble-shooting tips in the manual.

You should began to feel the effects of the heat after 10 minutes or so. Did you fill up the water reservoir up completely. Sounds like the water may not be circulating ,or not heating up.

I have not had this problem. But try filling the pool a little higher so water does not catch on top of the cover. Also I know you probably know this but make sure the bubble part in facing down into the water. Hope this helps.
